February Half Term: girls in tech and Wonder Women!

On 13th February 2018 we kicked off our February half term programme, which saw young people from South Bristol and beyond learning, making new friends and having a great time while doing it!

The week began with our sold-out puppet making course led by avid puppeteer Sarah Green. Young people had the opportunity to conceptualise a story and bring it to life using cut-outs and other crafts. After putting together their sets, characters and scripts, the young people filmed their shows using iPads. The finished films were screened for parents and family members at the end of the day.

On the second day of half term we held a special screening of Wonder Woman; main studio was dotted with beanbags and sofas to create an extra comfy environment!

We closed the week with an all-girls day which included creating animations and music and coding personalised messages using a light display. The day gave girls the space to make new friends and build confidence in tech: one parent wrote to us saying, “my daughter had a great time, she enjoyed all the elements, the music was her favourite.”
